About the countdown to Mardi Gras
Because Mardi Gras is tied to Easter, it can fall anywhere from early February to early March.
The date is derived from the same Easter algorithm used across our seasonal pages.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Mardi Gras falls in ISO week 6 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
Around the same time
These fall within a fortnight of Mardi Gras, which is useful if you are planning around the date rather than only checking it.
